I actually like this trade for dallas more than i do LA. Lakers defense is already absolutely atrocious and they just traded one of their only solid defensive players for someone with absolutely zero defensive ability at all. Mavs defense got stronger and they still have a formidable offense too while the lakers just gutted their defense and still honestly dont have the roster to be a standout offensive powerhouse either. At 31 years old and how he has been playing i dont see AD having a big fall off over the next few years and i dont see luka ever improving his defense either. I think mavs lost hope in their future with luka and i can understand why tbh. AD may not have as many years left as luka but he should be able to still give them a few good seasons and still be in good enough shape to be traded off to retain his value. They are taking the gamble on trying to get a chip sooner with a team they hope can still find longevity thru other means over prolonged success with a team he doesnt believe can actually bring home the chip at all
Cant wait for the lebron affect and see luka become a crap player now. First kevin love. Kyrie. Russle westbrook, AD , DLow , D wade , bosch all became crappier versions of themselfs when they teamed up with lebron.
It was Dallas that went out to find LA for this trade. Jeanie Buss didn't even think it was possible until they showed up to ASK for AD. I'm not sure what Dallas was smoking, but maybe Luka is irreparably injured or something?
Lost Brunson to free agency for nothing. And now this! Only thing left now if for Luka to sweep the Mavs in the playoffs and fire the entire front office
@@darkky65 they beat a healthy celtics and then beat the knicks without AD, that's pretty good. i agree that they robbed the mavs, still sucks losing christie tho, now they really gotta have to step up on defense
Luka and lebron on a starting 5 will have no defence lmao they got a lebron who won't try on defence and then luka who was the worst defender on the court in last years finals. Defense is a big big problem
As a mavs fan this is the wors trade we could made for luka we had a top 7 defance last year and luka took us to the finals while AD was just geting cooked by Jokic in the playoffs
Bro as a Dallas native and troller, y’all didn’t expect the mavs to have a deep playoff run last season. It seems Nico is a “wandering eye” type gm, which makes since due to him making the comments about the importance of defense after seeing how well constructed the Celtics were. I think he been saw the possibility of trading Luka since last season, but the unexpected finals run only deferred the process
I don't think it's a bad trade for the mavs. AD is a top 10 player in the league and with Irving being the ball handler I think Dallas can surprise everybody with how good they are
@@kdawg6887 plus luka's not in the best shape either, and misses a lot of games, this slowed down the lakers team and now they're sitting with no defensive presence.. AD has been playing fantastic and might just be what the mavs need. having both kyrie and luka on the payroll didn't make much sense
@@jusshawn6175 well if he was watching that finals then he should've known that the Mavs didn't have ANY offense outside Luka. Now you trade him away lol.
In terms of this year… they might be a better team. They are young with Derrick lively and pj Washington, etc. and now they have a dpoy candidate with Kyrie!!!! It’s all up to Kyrie. If he can space the floor, mavs are the very scary!
@@TheOnlyKontrol I’m gonna go on a limb and say LeBron is gonna retire when it comes to the end of Luka’s contract or take a massive pay cut because Luka gonna be going for that 300m super max
Same here lmao I wasn’t even grabbing my phone to use it I was just seeing what time it was, and I saw all the notifications and thought it had to fake or rumors, genuinely the craziest trade of all time.
Maybe his injury is worse than we were told. Also, AD might be a great fit for the Mavs, I've watched every Mavs game since last years trade deadline. Nico knows what he's doing
this seems like a Nico Harrison favor to his long time partner from Nike times, LeFraud James more than anythign else. There is no way someone with the right brains and interest of the own team does a trade like that in this sort of fashion. There must be more to it.
LeBron James and Nico Harrison have a long-standing professional relationship. Nico Harrison is the general manager and president of basketball operations for the Dallas Mavericks, but before that, he worked at Nike as an executive for nearly two decades. During his time at Nike, Harrison played a key role in managing relationships with top athletes, including LeBron James. LeBron and Harrison developed a strong bond during their years working together at Nike, where Harrison was instrumental in growing LeBron’s brand and signature shoe line. Their relationship is built on trust and mutual respect, which continues even after Harrison transitioned into an NBA front-office role with the Mavericks.
the man sold the majority stake of the team due to knowing the changing nba landscape. NBA teams are not making that much money to pay 350+mils in 5 years to a single player.
as an ex mavs fan i gotta say luka for me is top 5 in history not just rn . as a laker fan (since today) i said it earlier but people under estimate value of lebron and luka on same team if they healthy they gonna create upsets in playoffs also goated as always .
Luka part of 2 of the worst trades in NBA history. Hawks should have never traded him and now the Mavs make the most one sided insane trade in history. Lebron may be on his way out though maybe this is the first step in an entire rebuild. Insane
"He was worried about Lukas fitness.", trades for one of the best but also one of the most injury prone centers in the history of the NBA. Congrats, you played yourself.
Luka leading Bronny and teaching him how to be a young star in the NBA may be exactly what he needs. Those 2 together in the future may be a really good duo
As a Lakers fan I have no idea how I feel about this trade. I feel like Doncic and Lebron play the same position and they have no good big man now. AD was underwhelming except his first season with Lakers and crying too much about not wanting to play center which got him shipped off. I think this is the Lakers just getting ready for after Lebron.
Luka in LA is like Zion in NO... buffet galore. Dallas now has a trio of frontcourt beasts in person of Davis, Lively and Gaffney. With offense from Davis in the frontcourt and Klay together with Uncle Drew who gets to cook all game. Believe it or not but they are better positioned to win a title now.
I haaaate this trade with a burning passion. The fact that Mavs have been building around of Luka ever since they drafted him, and to now trade him without him even requesting a trade pisses me tf off.
This reminds me of the Rams trade With the Lions. 1 QB they thought could win now and the other is for the future... KD makes that team better now while Luka is for the future.
I think max christie is a lil overlooked in this breakdown. They only had to give up one draft pick bc Christie is basically a draft pick that you know is NBA level

As a Mavs fan, I hope Luka signs with either the Spurs or the Nuggets after his current contract.
Luka on the Nuggets is WILD.

Looks like Mrs.Cuban put that to the test
Mark isnt in control in the mavs anymore, he sold most of his shares and ownership

he'll get fed more now, with 3 guards the spacing was good, but with AD and 2 guards, even better
If you’re a Mavs fan and not outside the Mavs facility this morning demanding they fire Nico then you’re not a Mavs fan
Maybe his injury is worse than we were told. Also, AD might be a great fit for the Mavs, I've watched every Mavs game since last years trade deadline. Nico knows what he's doing
“Nobody cared until I put on the mask” type- vid 😂😂
“We were concerned about Luka’s health so we traded him for an older player who is known for being injured 2/3 of the season”

Cant wait for Wemby to play center for the lakers in 3 years!
nah thats the competition
Nico working Luka into the ground with no help and ships him off to LA as soon as a rookie centre gets hurt. Someone fire this man
Lebrons just spiting Kyrie at this point 😂
ky is crying rn
The best example how stupid mavs decision is that they considered Luka is injury prone over street clothes AD....
My boy goat saw the future ‼️🫰🏾
Lebron: So I've got some ideas for trades..
Luka: Look at me - I'm Le-GM Now!
The Mavs must know something about Luka to shift him out so fast. Maybe an injury or maybe they just hate him. Idk

Bro Another Era for the Laker Nation! I can't believe this actually happened!
Of course they get Luka for nothing without any other teams getting to throw their hat in the ring 🤦♂️😖. Hate hate hate (chapelle voice)
This has to be a money thing. I mean, the Luka plays 35 minutes a game and averages 28 pts. That's not bad conditioning. IDC what the Mavs say.
Still better than zion imo, plus he a white dude, no fear of losing them hops as he ages.
yea that was BS. talking about conditioning while he played his ass off in the playoffs hobbling and literally bleeding. Absolute betrayal
@@Jieteru-, He went all the way to the finals then played in the Olympics. His health is an issue, but he has shown that “conditioning” is not.

Funny how "fatboy" advanced further in the playoffs last season than AD.
